Woertle - I recently built this German Wordle-style game with CEFR-level filters, so it's great for both native speakers and learners. It uses real vocabulary lists from trusted sources like the Goethe-Institut, and after each guess, you get an authentic German dictionary definition to reinforce learning. The game is ad-free, mobile-friendly, and doesn’t require a login—unless you want to track your stats. Plus, you can play as many rounds as you like.
